“I am trying to educate my physician about the documentation requirements for CPT 11721. He doesn’t think it’s important to document the number of nails debrided or even the method of debridement. Is there a resource you can point me to that specifically addresses this?” This was addressed last week. “Since it is stated – CPT 11721: Debridement of nail(s) by any method(s); 6 or more, why would it be necessary to document what instruments were used for debridement since any method would be accepted under this description?” This is part 2.
